Academia licence
SURF’s aim is to set up a system of umbrella licences for images and audio. Negotiations between SURFdirect and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (NIBG), the Dutch public broadcasting associations, and Buma/Stemra (the organisation that administers the copyright of composers and lyricists) have resulted in a licence covering material held by the Dutch public broadcasters. Thanks to this “
Academia licence”, higher education has access to large numbers of older and more recent films and television programmes. The material can be accessed via
SURFmedia.
